Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July A week
ago q serious difficulty occurred between
whites and blacks at Oskridge, i'll Moore.
house parish, in which a number of per
sons lost their lives. It was impossible
at the time to get any correct version Of
the affair beyond the statement that q
psrty Of whites carrying negro, accused
of rape, to Jail were fired upon and fight
ersued. One white msn AMI four negroes
were killed.
The facts Of the affair have lust been
made public, and it proves to be far
more serious ana quite different from the
first version. n negro WIS accused of
holding improper relations with young
white woman. A party of white men
who have been trying to break up mis-
cegnation in the parish, caught him, and
when he confessed the ofiiense had de-
termined on giving him q severe cOwhid-
ing when they were fred upon by some
OF the negroes friends, who sought to
rescue MIN. The whites returned
with their prisoner, secured reinforce
ments, and hearing that the negroes VINO
had done the firing were concealed in the
house of one Baldwin, posse went there
to make arrests and battle ensued.
According TO the first report that came
innone white man named uigginbOtham
was killed and another named COngor
mortslly wounded, and three others
slightly wounded and six negroes killed.
This, however, was the mortality Of the
first day only. Four negroes who were
concealed in the cs5in escapedin the bat
tie, but were captured by the whites the
next day and promptly lynChed. Two
more of the party were captured the next
afternoon and lodged in Jail.
There was considerable difference Of
opinion among the whites as to what
should be done with them, and q mass
meeting to decide took place One party
thought enough had already been done in
the killing and lynChing of ten negroes.
The others wanted to make an example,
After investigating the matter one of the
negroes in jail was Iyncbed and the other
released, he being shown TO be innocent
Still another negro was captured the
same evening, and hanged on the banks
OF bayou Boz Idee, near Oak Ridge
Some six or seven negroes engaged in
the affair have escaped so far, but the
whites are still in pursuit of them, and if
they are captured they will be lynched,
as were the others.
The total mortality therefore by the
encounter is thirteen dead. OF these one
is white, and twelve colored. OF the latter
six were shot down and six lynched.

toe days before telsgrsphs and railroads,
when ideas Travelled sitter the stage coach
fashion, bu. 0V ;ha tine inc yPsT 1885 was
reached there was very pretty excite
ment raging among the people from Bos
ton TO Savannah and west as far as Mis-
sissippi. People we're fairly carried off
their 3eet by the surging tide of speCula
ton. Young trees or cuttings steadily
advanced from So hundred 10 TO S25
500, 500, S200, and even $500 9 hun
bred. Large quantities were imported
from France, aud whenever z person
could acquire dominion over 3 plot OF
ground into it ne stuck lot Of mulberry
cuttings. 1t was the one thought that the
whole country should become luXufiant
with mulberry trees, and that every maC
should grow his own silk. In 1889, at
the Higntield COcOOnery in Germantown,
Pa an auction was held when 260, 600
trees not over TWO and q half feet nigh
were sold to purchasers from Missouri
and Illinois for ever $50, 600 Sales of q
single week exceeded 100000 trees, and
many nUrseTymen resped great profits,
the proceeds Of sn acre amounting in
many cases 20 $4,000. In one season
one New Jersey nurserYman sold $50, 900
worth OF trees, and sent the whole amount
to France TO purchase million or more
OF trees 10 be delivered the next summer
or fall. But the elimination came, and
before October, 1889, tnst nurseryman
tailed for so large 3 sum that ne could
never reckon up mis- Indebtedness. In the
spring Of 1910 multiCaul.s trees were
offered in VAN 10 farmers fer pea brush
at 81 per 100. As with all such
Crszes, widespread ruin and disaster
followed, and there were but
few families throughout the
country that were not affected to some
degree by lnOru5 multiCsulis speculation
Fortunes were made and fortunes were
lost, out the losers far Out-numbered the
winners Then followed the natural re-
suit, and almost everywhere the trees
were rooted up as worthless inCum
bralCe and destroyed.
Such are some Of the more curious
phases Of the passion for speculation
which have occurred in the past. They
show how deeply the gambling passion
Is seated in the heart Of man, and how
easily whole nation may be stirred up
